Rev. Daniel Carr 1982 - 1988

The tenth president of the college was Rev. Daniel Carr.

Fr. Daniel Carr was born in Fanad in 1939. He was student of the College prior to his seminary training at Maynooth College from 1958 to 1965. After his ordination he was appointed to the staff of St. Eunan’s College. He returned to university in 1970 to complete further studies and resumed his post as dean in 1971. Following Fr. Laverty’s appointment as Administrator in 1982, Fr. Carr assumed the presidency of the College in January of 1982. During almost seven years at the helm, Fr. Carr was instrumental in continuing the adaptation and refurbishment of the school. There was a gradual decline in the number of boarders, which allowed for the conversion of some of the original boarding facilities into classrooms. Fr. Carr was very intrested in the future development of the college and was suportive of the development of the first computer network of BBC's in St. Eunan's whic h were the first in the county. Fr. Carr was appointed parish priest of St. Johnston in 1988 on the retirement of Dr. D.J. Cunnea. On the translation of Bishop Seamus Hegarty, Bishop of Raphoe from 1982-1994, to the See of Derry, Fr. Carr became Apostolic Administrator of the diocese. The new Bishop, Dr. Philip Boyce, upon his episcopal ordination, appointed Fr. Carr Vicar General of the Diocese. He was subsequently made a domestic prelate with the title of Monsignor.
